More information

The key characteristic of this variety is a dense, highly branched bush. The numerous small, branched shoots are covered with tiny dark-green leaves. In season, these shoots are topped with small pink flowers with a musky fragrance and a cluster of golden stamens at the center. They appear in clusters of 5–10; the dark pink buds contrast with the paler pink flowers. It blooms late and then continues to flower long after many other roses have finished. It spreads more in width than height and is suitable as a patio or groundcover rose. Also suitable for containers.
